Claudia Canova, BACP

Claudia Canova draws on a varied professional path to shape her counselling work. She is a BACP practitioner who combines practical problem-solving with attention to deeper patterns. She welcomes people who feel worn out, stuck or who want space to offload their worries. Claudia aims to build a relationship that helps clients become more of who they are.

She blends a psychosynthesis-influenced approach with methods that look at attachment patterns and the stories people live by. Sessions focus on what is causing pain and how that shows up day to day. Claudia pays attention to both immediate coping strategies and the longer-term themes that limit fulfilment.

Her background includes many careers before moving into therapy, with long experience in media, communications and performing arts. She also co-facilitates workshops at the Psychosynthesis Trust for counsellors in training. In addition, she volunteers supporting people affected by Covid-19 and vulnerable young adults.

Claudia works with a wide range of issues, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem and career matters. She also gives attention to family of origin issues, communication problems, abandonment and feelings of emptiness.

Her style is collaborative and exploratory. She supports people to notice patterns, try practical changes and imagine different ways of living. The emphasis is on finding what feels authentic and on reducing things that get in the way of day-to-day wellbeing.

Approaches that shape online work and what they offer

Claudia draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses. This approach can help when anxiety, trust or repeated difficulties in relationships keep showing up.

She also uses client-centred ways of working, which put the person's experience at the heart of the session. This means sessions aim to follow what matters most to the client and to create a supportive space for honest reflection.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Claudia will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change as work develops and as different priorities emerge.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing sessions during a work break. It can also let people meet from a location that offers quieter surroundings or less need to be on camera.
